Astier de Villatte x John Derian Watermelon Platter
Best unique statement piece for discerning collectors of artisanal decor.
This collaboration marries whimsical vintage illustration with the raw, moody soul of Parisian black terracotta. It is an unapologetically artisanal statement piece that demands careful hand-washing, but its singular, imperfect charm makes every other serving dish feel sterile by comparison.
